Transhumanism article and Piccinini image

Hello Harold. Can you please explain why you deleted the image known as The Young Family by artist Patricia Piccinini from the Transhumanism article without any justification? Please do not this again otherwise you will be reported to a Wikipedia administrator. --Loremaster (talk) 23:44, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Max More and Transhumanism

Continually removing Max More from the article on transhumanism is an obvious slap in the face to Dr. More. People who read this article are fully aware the Dr. More has been removed from it more than once and it seems that the person doing it is James Hughes or Nick Bostrom or the Canadian guy who used to be involved with WTA. This is a shame because both Hughes and Bostrom are important voices of transhumanism but the DID NOT WRITE THE PHILOSOPHY. Transhumanism grew out of the philosophy which Dr. More authored and worked to develop. Give the man some respect Loremaster.

I suggest we continue this conversation on the Talk:Transhumanim page and that you stop editing the Transhumanism article until our dispute is resolved to avoid an edit war. --Loremaster (talk) 22:53, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

In light of your January 11 edit to the lede section of the Transhumanism article, I have significantly rewritten and improved this section in a way that I think is a good comprise between at two different point of view. You'll notice that the current lede doesn't mention Dante Alighier or the Extropy Institute (which, unlike the World Transhumanist Association/Humanity+ no longer exists). This is intentional because I believe that such non-crucial details should be left out of the lede yet remain in body of the article. That being said, if you any objections, please discuss them on the Talk:Transhumanim page instead of restoring your edits and triggering a needless edit war between us. --Loremaster (talk) 02:19, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Why add Esfandiary to this section? He had nothing to do with transhumanism. Where do you find your facts that Esfandiary wrote about transhumanism? He did not. Put him on the transhuman page because that would be accurate.

Our current reliable sources, Nick Bostrom and James Hughes, argue that FM-2030 was an early transhumanist (Have you even taken the time to read their essays on transhumanist history?). If that wasn't enough, Natasha Vita-More herself confirmed this in a conversation on the Talk:Transhumanism page many years ago. That being said, please discuss your objections on the Talk:Transhumanim page rather than restoring your edits and triggering a needless edit war between us. If you refuse to do this, you will be reported to Wikipedia administrators. --Loremaster (talk) 08:53, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Do not sign my name to your words. You are the one who should be reported. You keep making up information that you do not know. If you are a journalist you should not be writing this article.

There is nothing inappropriate in naming a discussion thread with your name when I want to discuss something you have said or done. It is simply to help other people understand who and what I am talking about. That being said, putting aside the fact that you seem unaware that Natasha Vita-More has read Wikipedia's article on Transhumanism and gave it her stamp of approval, I'm not making up information! Everything I or other contributors have written in this article so far is a paraphrasing of content from reliable sources. However, if you have reliable sources that contradict what is currently written, I encourage you to provide them to us so we can use them to improve the article. Lastly, Wikipedia does not require that its articles be written by professional journalists. If that were the case, Wikipedia would never have become the people-powered phenomenon it still is. It only demands that content written by you or me be based on reliable sources such as mainstream journalists. --Loremaster (talk) 00:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC) P.S.
